The history of civilization proves beyond doubt just how sterile the repeated attempts of metaphysics to guess at nature' s laws have been. Instead, there is every reason to believe that when the human intellect ignores reality and concentrates within, it can no longer explain the simplest inner workings of life' s machinery or of the world around us.
Santiago Ramón y Cajal

However, there is no denying that in the natural sciences - and especially in biology - it is a very effective tool for avoiding the innate tendency to explain the universe as a whole in terms of general laws.
